“My religion is kindness.”— His Holiness the Dalai Lama

We at Lion's Roar Dharma Center see His Holiness the Dalai Lama as our ultimate guide and follow his teachings.

Lion's Roar Dharma Center is a Buddhist practice center in Sacramento, California, USA. We practice the way of Shakyamuni Buddha as passed down through the great synthesizer of Tibetan Buddhism, Lama Tsongkapa, up to the present Dalai Lama. We follow in the lineage of Serajey Monastic University in India.

Our Buddhist community was founded by Geshe Lama Lobsang Gyatso and is directed by Lama Yeshe Jinpa.
